A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 27

Eric answered Lyra's call. Without a word of good afternoon Lyra immediately said dirty words and angry to Eric.

"Bas on you jerk! That bastard! How dare you do such a scene with my friend! That bastard son of a bitch, you, Eric!"

Lyra immediately cut off her phone connection with Eric. Eric was very surprised to hear Lyra's words being so rude to him.

"God! What did I do that made Lyra so angry? I've never seen Lyra get mad at me even to the point of saying I'm an asshole."

Hearing that, Bella was surprised, since she knew Lyra for so long, Bella had never seen Lyra angry or even uttered dirty words. Moreover, the dirty words were thrown to Eric who he liked. Eric!?

"You have a problem with Lyra, exactly,"

"I don't know. Suddenly Lvra called me immediately angry and scolded me. The words I heard from him earlier, 'how dare you do that with my friend!' I'm also confused as to what Lyra means."

Then, from the table next door, Henry laughed seeing Bella in confusion.

"Hahhhh Bella, have you opened a campus group? Look at! There's important news there." Henry said.

Bella immediately took her phone and checked what was going on. she was very surprised and did not expect that her scene was feeding Eric had been recorded and disseminated by Henry.

Without further ado, Bella stood up and headed towards Henry and slapped him very hard.

Plakk!

"How dare you do that basic male loser! Bastard!"

Eric finally realizes the cause of Lyra's anger at him. Apparently the footage of the vidio that made Lyra insult him earlier.

The scene of Henry being slapped was witnessed by all restaurant customers, this made Henry very angry, Henry then immediately returned the slap done by Bella to him.

However, very quickly, Eric got up from his seat to catch Henry's hand and pushed him to the floor.

Right now, Bella was very embarrassed to see her affection spread, moreover she was very embarrassed by Lyra her close friend.

Bella was crying. Quickly, Eric realizes the situation and immediately pulls Bella's hand out of the restaurant.

While Isabel was just silent, watching and astonished to see the events that happened.

Isabel goes after Bella and leaves her cousin alone there.

Isabella continues to follow Eric and Bella.

Bella was devastated by the incident and kept crying, thinking how she would explain the matter to Lyra.

"Eric, how do I explain this matter to Lyra" bella said, sobbing in tears.

Eric smiled as he said." It's okay this is just a misunderstanding let me explain it to Lyra."

Bella hugged Eric while crying.

"Hey Bella, excuse my cousin, come with me to teach him a lesson." Isabel approached bella while trying to persuade her.

But Bella did not answer Isabella's greeting but she still continued to hug Eric while crying.

Isabel who got no response from bella said with a hint of annoyance." Bella do you hear me."

Hearing that, Bella looked at Isabel with reddened eyes as she said." Isabel, leave for now I don't want to talk to anyone."

Issabel hears Bella exorcising quickly turning the look on her angry face into cheerful." Bella, can you introduce your boyfriend."

Hearing the words of issabel Bella immediately pulled Eric's hand to go and get into the car. Because he did not want to reveal, if the one who was with him was Eric Brown.

"Eric tried to call Lyra I'm afraid she misunderstood our scene" Bella said, staring at Eric.

Eric scratched his head in confusion because he didn't get a response from Lyra." How about we go straight to Lyra's, Eric."

Bella who heard that nodded immediately." Good idea, let's go over there to explain all this."

They immediately went to Lyra's house, upon arrival at Lyra's house they both continued to call Lyra from outside. And Bella decides to go in to see Lyra in her room and Eric dares to come into Lyra's house despite being slapped yesterday by Lyra's father and brother.

"Sir Lynda can we both meet with Lyra, there's a misunderstanding we want to explain to Lyra." Bella greeted Lynda with respect.

Lynda had seen the figure with Lyra, so Bella must be a close friend of Lyra's. Lynda quickly replies to Bella. "Oo wait a minute I will call him first, why do you dare come to my house with that jerk guy”

"He's Eric, brother, we both want to meet Lyra, brother, please allow him too" Bella said introducing Eric.

Then Lynda went straight to Lyra's room and

knocking door.

"Sir.. Tuk.. Tuk.

Upon arriving in front of Lyra's room, Lynda knocked on Lyra's door and said."Lyra, are you okay? There's your friends Bella and Eric said he wanted to meet you.”

Lyra answered in tears but she did not open the door for her sister either.

Lyra heard it becoming increasingly angry and hurtful. I don't know why Lyra is so jealous even if she sees Eric with Bella. Eric and he have not had any relationship.

Lyra said in an angry tone."Get them home and never see me again."

Hearing that Lynda became surprised.

"Lyra what's wrong with you, why do you seem to be crying?"

"I'm fine, brother, but tell them both to stay out of my sight, I don't want to see them anymore."

Hearing Lyra's words, Lynda had guessed that something had happened to her sister. Then Lynda went out to see Bella and Eric.

"Sister Lynda where's Lyra? is he good good

just?"

"And you two, what really happened, why did my sister keep crying in her room.. And Lyra also told the two of you not to see her again. Just look out if his sister is what you two are responsible for

Hearing Lynda's words Eric and Bella's faces turned pale in despair.

In the car Bella continued to cry, he did not expect just by feeding Eric there would be a problem of this magnitude.

"It's all my fault Eric I'm sorry."

"Already this Bella is not your fault, this is just a misunderstanding later I myself will explain it to Lyra.

After the incident, Eric immediately drove Bella home with his car, and Eric immediately went home to his boarding house after delivering Bella earlier.

Iya keeps trying to contact Lyra but Lyra keeps ignoring calls and messages from Eric.

It was the first heartbreak Lyra had ever experienced, the first and most painful heartbreak for her, seeing a friend of her own cornering her from behind. It's a misunderstanding, but Lyra thinks it's true, because she knows Eric was Bella's high school friend, and Lyra might think that Bella might have had a special relationship with Eric.

Lyra on that night kept crying, so the Lyra family was very worried about her circumstances. Then Lyra's father broke the door open.

"Lyra my son, what makes you cry like this?"

"Dad, I want to move to Japan, I don't want to go to Leonard University anymore."

Hearing that, Lyra's father, mother and sister were clearly surprised to hear Lyra's statement that she wanted to study in Japan.
